141: Chapter 141 Lonely nights need "woo-woo-woo" to decorate them.

Police station.

Just as the lawyer had predicted, regarding the Landlord's unauthorized eviction, considering he proactively compensated the tenants for their losses, the police station ultimately issued a penalty of criticism and education.

The scene the Old Woman had imagined—the Landlord finding out he was sentenced to prison and kneeling before them, snot and tears running down his face, begging for forgiveness—did not occur.

Instead, because of the Old Woman's false accusations, not only was he involved, but Yan Hes Husband and even Yan He would be held accountable.

As for the specific penalties, it would depend on whether the involved parties pursued the matter and how they chose to do so.

There was no help for it! False accusation is inherently difficult to define, and there are no specific sentencing standards in legal terms.

However, none of that was important.

The point was that the current situation was that the Old Woman's family had to beg the Landlord for forgiveness.

However, regarding "begging," the Old Woman stated it was impossible, so during questioning, she kept harping on the "ghost" haunting her home, repeating it over and over.

The two police officers responsible for the questioning looked up at the large characters on the wall and exchanged glances at the national emblem on each other's cap brims, feeling speechless.

Didn't she know where she was?

Learn about righteousness.

Haven't you heard that after the founding of the country, nothing is allowed to become a spirit?

As for the "ghost" the Old Woman spoke of, in fact, after summarizing all the evidence, the experienced police officers already had an answer in their hearts.

"The previous owner lived there for several years without incident, and as soon as this family moved in, it started 'haunting.' Combined with the distribution of their family, I am certain this is a man-made event."

As for whether to investigate further?

Actually, that very night, two police officers did go to Room 3.

Unfortunately, nothing happened.

Uh~ one could only say it would be strange if something did happen.

Regarding the topic of Yan He being kicked out by the Landlord, the residents' group chat had already exploded with discussion.

Chen Sheng and An Xiaonuan, who were camping outside, naturally saw it too.

Since the parties involved had been driven away, the music naturally stopped; after all, who has nothing better to do than stick a bone conduction speaker to someone else's floor?

Therefore, although the police had guessed that the "ghost" haunting was a man-made event, considering one party had already moved out of the residential area and the "ghost" was no longer haunting, the matter was left unsettled.

However, the story about Yan He's family and the "ghost" was destined to be one of the core gossip topics in the Jingjiang Donghu Garden Residential Area for the next week or even longer.

Haven't you seen that Cao Zan from Caos Braised Duck is still one of the core gossip topics even now?

That's right, when the weekend afternoon arrived, Chen Sheng and An Xiaonuan drove back to the residential area.

From meeting an acquaintance from the same building in the underground parking lot, to getting in the elevator, to meeting neighbors when getting out of the elevator, the topics of conversation all revolved around Yan He's family.

It was practically like "Have you eaten?" becoming a standard greeting for everyone.

Monday.

Chen Sheng dropped An Xiaonuan off at work as usual, but instead of opening his system panel next, he drove to Wuhou District.

Just last night, he received a call from his college classmate, Brother Chao—Wang Chao from the next dormitory.

On the phone, Brother Chao hesitated for a long time before stating the purpose of his call—to borrow money + borrow a person.

In short, he had encountered something and hoped Chen Sheng could visit him.

As for what exactly he had encountered, Brother Chao didn't say on the phone.

How should one put it?

This was very much in character for Brother Chao.

As for Brother Chao's character?

To summarize in one sentence—it's hard to evaluate.

But Brother Chao's integrity was actually quite good, which was why Chen Sheng was willing to go even without understanding the situation.

I remember back in their school days, Old Yu, relying on being a local, encountered a bit of trouble outside.

Actually, it wasn't a big deal; just two sides arguing in a bar.

However, both sides were hot-blooded youths, naturally feeling unconvinced and annoyed, so the arguing escalated into a scheduled fight.

When the dormitory found out about this, four people, including Chen Sheng, went, and Brother Chao from the next dormitory followed without a second word.

The fight certainly didn't happen.

This also fits the behavioral habit of young people who like to talk tough but chicken out when it comes to the real deal.

However, although the fight didn't happen, the friendship between them was forged there.

It's just that this Brother Chao is truly hard to evaluate.

That's right, when Chen Sheng arrived at Brother Chao's place, Brother Chao was sitting on the sofa looking decadent, opening a bottle of beer, and while drinking, he started talking about the cause of the matter.

"A few days ago, after finally waiting for payday, I thought I'd go to a bar to relax..."

Under Brother Chao's bashful narration, the scene of the story slowly unfolded.

After Brother Chao went to the bar, relying on his festive appearance and flexible tongue, he quickly attracted the attention of the women.

Whether you admit it or not, in reality, there are always some women with unique aesthetics; they like old ones, fat ones, short ones, or even disabled ones, but they just don't like Handsome Guys who wear Taobao clothes.

Before long, a woman with big wavy hair, wearing "man-slaying" red lipstick and a slit dress, came to Brother Chao's side.

"Handsome Guy, can you buy me a drink called 'A Lonely Night'."

The woman was very "beautiful" and also very large—one hand couldn't grasp it all—so facing the woman's invitation, Brother Chao agreed without a second thought.

He snapped his fingers and called the waiter.

"Please bring this beauty a glass of 'A Lonely Night'."

"Sure, Handsome Guy, please scan the code here!"

Brother Chao readily took out his phone, but when he saw that a glass of "A Lonely Night" cost 555 yuan, he hesitated and asked the waiter, "So expensive?"

To his surprise, the waiter smiled mysteriously, "A Lonely Night, of course, needs to be embellished with 'Woo-woo-woo' sounds."

When he heard this, Chen Sheng nodded in agreement.

"There is nothing wrong with that statement at all!"

And he hurriedly urged Brother Chao to continue.

"I'm not a sucker, why should I pay 555 yuan? Besides, I only make a little over five thousand a month. One glass would cost me one-tenth of my salary. I'm not stupid."

Brother Chao expressed his anger.

Chen Sheng almost spat a mouthful of water onto Brother Chao's face, but fortunately, he reacted quickly and lowered his head before launching, which allowed Brother Chao to escape this disaster.

Is this about the 555 yuan?

This is about eating meat!

The meat was fed to his mouth, and yet you complain it's expensive?

Very good, this is very Brother Chao; it is truly hard to evaluate.

Chen Sheng rolled his eyes and took a deep breath, then urged him listlessly, "And then what?"

"I just left!" Brother Chao said righteously.

"With that money, I might as well go find Number 68; it's economical and affordable, and I can get a foot massage on the side."

Chen Sheng: "..."

That makes so much sense, he actually couldn't refute it.

"Then did you go?"

"I went, but that day Number 68 had been booked in advance, so I found Number 47."

"So you came over today to show off to me?"

Chen Sheng suddenly felt his hands itching.

As a man with a wife, even when getting cupping therapy, he has to find a male technician.

Foot massages and the like could only be imagined in his dreams.

"That's not it." Brother Chao said bashfully, "Old Chen, I wanted to ask you for a favor."

"If you have something to say, say it. If I can help, I will. If I can't, it's useless for you to look for me." Chen Sheng replied readily.

"Old Chen, I just want you to accompany me to the hospital. I might need to borrow some money from you later."

"Borrow money? How much do you plan to borrow? And what are you going to the hospital for? Are you sick? Do you know what kind of illness it is?"

"Earlier, because Number 68 wasn't there, I booked Number 47. These past few days, I've felt it itching down there, and it feels like it's changing color, so..."

"WTF!" Brother Chao's words scared Chen Sheng so much that he jumped up, quickly backing away two meters from Brother Chao, then looked at him with an expression of disbelief.

"Brother Chao, you dog, don't tell me you caught that?"

"Also, you are truly something! You got yourself into that, and you call me over?"

Chen Sheng was speechless... no, very speechless.

For this kind of thing, just talk about the money! What's the point of borrowing a person?

"I, I don't know!" Brother Chao said with a miserable face.

"I just thought I'd go to the hospital to check. If it's mild, I'll treat it myself; if it's serious, I'll tell my family, so..."

"Stop talking, let's go now."

Chen Sheng snatched the beer from Brother Chao's hand and threw it directly into the trash can.

Then he turned to go to the bathroom, but after stepping in with only one foot, he turned around and went to the kitchen, then thoroughly washed his hands with dish soap.

Only then did he urge Brother Chao, "Don't look at me with that gaze, you're the one acting aggrieved. Hurry up and pack up. Also, are there any masks at home? Take two out, don't harm others."

Help, that must be done, but the disgust is also real.
